Are the clothing in US sizes?

Yes. Please note that although they are in US sizes, the sizing may differ across different products and different brands. It is recommended that you use a measuring tape to measure a comparable apparel that you have at home and compare the measurements against the size chart in the listing.


Why does my new shirt has a vinegar smell?
Don't worry, it is not unusual for newly printed shirt to have a vinegar smell (sometimes there may also be an off-white residue). It comes from a fixation agent used during the printing process so that the eco-friendly water-based ink stays on the shirt.

The smell (and residue) will go away after one wash.


Why do the colors of the item I received look lighter/darker/more saturated/less saturated/more vibrant/less vibrant etc. compared to the photo on your website?

Please note that all computers and mobile devices have different capabilities for color display. And computer monitors are not all calibrated in the same way. As such, the display of online colors may vary across different screens.

While we do our best to ensure the images are as close to the products as possible, we cannot guarantee the colors of the product and the print will 100% match what you see on your screen.


What are the care instruction for clothing items?
The clothing items can be machine-washed cold, inside-out on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent and like colors.

Use non-chlorine bleach only when necessary. Do not use fabric softeners or dry-clean the items. You can tumble-dry on a low cycle, but hang dry works best. If ironing is necessary, apply cool iron inside-out and do not iron on the print.
